Fabi Taking Supper On The Armchair
Tags: fabi ilcapitano hesthebossofeverythingnow thekingofallhesurveysmittensonkitten Fabi's new favorite spot in the house is Boomer's armchair. He spent much of this evening staking his claim to it, and then was very perturbed when Boomer sat down there to eat her dinner anyway. Because he's still mostly tiny (although easily twice as big as when we got him) he can wedge himself between her and the arm or back of the chair, and he spent most of dinner there. But then Zizou realized there was the potential for snuggling, so she climbed on and Fabi had to relocate to the top of the arm, where he enjoyed the view of laptop and wineglass.Recent Updated: 3 years ago - Created by interchangeableparts - ViewCopyright and permission to use should be sought to the author - interchangeableparts

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Oh, You young radicals and dreamers,
You dauntless fledglings
Who pass by my headstone,
Mock not its record of my captaincy in the army
And my faith in God!
They are not denials of each other.
Go by reverently, and read with sober care
How a great people, riding with defiant shouts
The centaur of Revolution,
Spurred and whipped to frenzy,
Shook with terror, seeing the mist of the sea
Over the precipice they were nearing,
And fell from his back in precipitate awe
To celebrate the Feast of the Supreme Being.
Moved by the same sense of vast reality
Of life and death, and burdened as they were
With the fate of a race,
How was I, a little blasphemer,
Caught in the drift of a nation's unloosened flood,
To remain a blasphemer,
And a captain in the army?
